Magento 2 on local host with XAMPP

Question

I am trying to transfer my live site to a local host on my PC, I did the following:

All the website's files are in C:\xampp\htdocs\html. I also imported the database and changed env.php and web/secure/url and web/unsecure/url (to 127.0.0.1/html). The problem is that there are errors in the code where $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is being used.

I tried changing inside httpd.conf the document root from

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">

to

DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/html"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/html">

And the result was that my site was showing, but all pages are 404.

Am I missing something? maybe some DB configuration or Magento's file for local environment?

thanks.

• Irfan Momin: Make sure mod_rewrite module is installed in your local server. You can check using phpinfo() fucntion.
• Abhishek Tripathi: @Hezided Did you tried to install Magento on your local server is it compatible with your local configuration?
• hezided: @IrfanMomin yes it's uncommented in httpd.conf.@ABHISHEK TRIPATHI not sure I understand your question...

Answer 1

If you have changed your DocumentRoot to "C:/xampp/htdocs/html", then your web/unsecure/url entry will be "http://127.0.0.1/ " .

Change this entry in database and clear the cache. It should work for you.

• hezided: I still get "page not found" everywhere...
• Aman Srivastava: can you please share the sceenshot of the browser page including the url
• hezided: imgur.com/a/0tBzc the marked string means "page not found"
• Aman Srivastava: If you'll check the url in browser, it is 127.0.0.1/html it should be 127.0.0.1 then it will load the homepage.
• hezided: yes it's true, but then if I click any link in my site the 'html' is added, for example: 127.0.0.1/html/sack-bags.html

Answer 2

eventually what worked for me was to move all the files to separate folder (C:/myFolder), and change the DocumentRoot to there... also values of:

web/unsecure/base_url
web/secure/base_url
web/unsecure/base_link_url
web/secure/base_link_url

is http://127.0.0.1:8080/
